Abstract

Background PP-007 is a PEGylated bovine carboxyhemoglobin gas transfer molecule with pleotropic cytoprotective effects, vasodilatation, plasma expansion and optimization of oxygen delivery. Rodent middle cerebral artery occlusion models have demonstrated that PP-007 increases blood flow in the collateral circulation and reduces final infarct volumes, supporting a potential role as neuroprotective agent in acute ischemic stroke. We aim to evaluate the safety and feasibility of PP-007 as an adjunctive treatment to mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in patients with stroke secondary to large vessel occlusion (LVO).

Methods HEMERA-1 was a multicenter, prospective, randomized, controlled phase 1 clinical trial. Anterior circulation LVO patients were assigned in a 3:1 ratio to receive either PP-007 (320mg/kg: 30 minutes bolus followed by 2-hour infusion) plus MT or MT alone within 24 hours after symptom onset. Other key inclusion criteria were baseline NIHSS ≥6, baseline Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) ≥5 and/or estimated core volumes ≤70mL with mismatch >50mL on CT perfusion, pre-morbid modified Rankin Scale <2, and ineligibility for intravenous thrombolysis. The primary endpoint comprised a comprehensive safety evaluation by a Data Monitoring Safety Board.

Results A total of 17 patients were recruited. The mean ± SD age, baseline NIHSS, and ASPECTS were 74.8±12.7 years, 17.3±4.2, and 7.9±1.8, respectively. Twelve patients were randomized PP-007 plus MT, 1 was randomized but not treated, 4 patients were randomized to MT alone. Recanalization of the occluded vessel was achieved in all patients. Seven PP-007 patients in 2 centers had temporary elevation of Partial Prothrombin Time most likely artifactual without any clinical consequences. A transient systolic blood pressure increase (20-40 mmHg) during the bolus was observed in all PP-007 patients without any clinical consequences. There were no other safety concerns.

Conclusion No significant safety concerns were identified for the adjunctive use of PP-007in patients undergoing MT (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT04677777).
